Some do - some don't. It's called Family and Consumer Science (FACS) now. Our middle school has it , but it has changed dramatically from when I was in school. There's cooking and a little bit of hand sewing, and clothing design and home dec all done on a computer. High school FACS is an elective and if the student is college-bound, there's no room in the schedule to take it. I'm surprised that basic living skills like those taught in home Ec. aren't considered important enough to continue, while taking a foreign language ( which I've never used outside that classroom) is.
